City aim to extend their club record start, whilst Reading defend a 100 percent Premiership record over Man City. Man City need to get three points to keep up the pressure on the other sides at the top of the Premiership.

Coppell: we can break their record

"You have to say it's unlikely they will go the full season being unbeaten at home, so why shouldn't we be the ones to break the record?

"We need to be more of a unit away from home, obviously not to concede so many goals, but also be effective going forward.

"As a team we have to be more together and not so stretched."

Sven: we will think positive

"We have a lot of games coming up. It is an important few games for us now with no more international breaks, which is a good thing.

"If we can keep the team fit and keep doing well then I will be thinking very positively.

"I will be very happy if we can stay where we are."
